I got one from CIP1.com for $139. Definitely not as good as OEM, thinner
metal, and cheap paint, but it fits and works fine. I added about 4 coats of
paint before installing, paying special attention to seams.
If you want OEM, I think Busdepot.com, Vanagain.com etc have them for a
bit more. In my case, CIP1.com is local, so I saved shipping cost.
